Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper presents the archaeological skeletal remains of four adult females presenting with cranial lesions typical of malignant neoplastic disease. The four cases were sourced from three medieval Polish skeletal assemblages: Milicz (12–13 th century), Pawłów Trzebnicki (15–16 th century), and Gródek nad Bugiem (13–15 th century). The observed pathological skeletal changes were evaluated with a comprehensive macroscopic analysis of the skeleton, and radiography of the affected bones. The observed osteolytic lesions were largely limited to the crania and were multiple and varied in size; further internal lesions were revealed with radiography. Three cases were differentially diagnosed as highly consistent with metastatic carcinoma, and the fourth case was differentially diagnosed as typical of multiple myeloma. This report adds to the scant number of palaeopathological examples of malignant neoplasms in Poland and it discusses the possible impact of cancer on medieval lives, as well as possible factors in the occurrence of malignant neoplasms in medieval Poland.
